Bizarre Alien Biology: Humans can't decide what the Ixo are most like, as they have an insectoid appearance, use extensive cybernetics, and seem to be somewhat aquatic. |

Faster-Than-Light Travel: The triggering event for the Ixo invasion is human discovery of the Quantum Jump Drive, a device that allows a ship to transport instantaneously from point A to point B by changing the ship into a probability wave. Unfortunately the Ixo don't like having neighbors with this tech. |

Mindlink Mates: Toyed with, Michiko and Daniel have a training accident that gives each of them the other's memories. While it doesn't make them friends or lovers, it does reset what was a very antagonistic relationship back to square one. |

comment |
Child Soldiers: Every single pilot hooked up to the Neural Interface for the ships is under 18 years old, and they have to be to adapt to the interface as an adult mind can't cope. |

comment |
Brain/Computer Interface: An unusual example in that the interface isn't an implant but a skin tight suit riddled with neural receptors. Neural feedback is actually a danger to the pilot. |
